The center of the chair back is nowhere near as big as the space between the back legs.
This is piss poor chair paintin’ if you ask me.
Why he painted that dumbass sitting in such a crappy chair is beyond my powers to understand

One could get all psycho-obsessed, analyzing the choice of colors, what the chair means and why he is floating in that wall of greenery. I just see really bad art that is disjointed, unpleasant and the only thing “it says to me” is that the subject and the artist are the only ones who really get it. I don’t like it. I hope they don’t make a postage stamp out of it.

And what is that thing of that guy’s wife? It looks like she was going for a sort of southwest indian thing. You know, the morbidly obese aborginial woman wrapped in a blanket?

..and why in heaven’s name, do so many people who study pictures of him choose the word “pensive”. I’ve never seen an authentic picture of him looking pensive in any way at all. Scheming, cunning, plotting, stupid: yes. Never pensive.

The portrait is perfect. It is hallucination art. Like a bad dream sequence. Its gay African floral lost-the-weeds message with a butt-hurt expression will stick out through the ages when compared with these:

A painting by a black queer dhimmi. His subject a queer, muslim, marxist despot seated on a “throne” surrounded by a floral array representing entangled deceptions. Obama’s right. He and the “artist” have a lot in common.

@Janitor — thanks for the link. It’s good see that and just how freakish that guy’s “portrait” is. It screams “LOOK AT ME!!! — I’M SO UNIQUE!!!” Stupid narcissist has ZERO self-awareness. Marriage between those two must be incredibly miserable.

Poison ivy was my first thought and I hope he wipes his well-used Grand Canyon arse hole with it.
This looks like some of the odd murals that were in McDonald’s in the ’80’s.
This artist is another case of the Emperor’s new clothes

I think I understand this mess.
The original portrait had him posing in front of various images of his “accomplishments” as president. As the unveiling day approached they realized Trump had reversed or blocked the effect of just about all of them so the portrait would now be seen as an embarrassment. At the last minute they directed the artist to do whatever was necessary to “fix” the painting in time for the unveiling. This is the best he could do.
